The development of affordable holiday properties in the Caribbean islands is a relatively new concept, though one which is gathering pace. Islands such as Jamaica have a long history as holiday destinations, but more recently the less well-known islands such as St Lucia and the Dominican Republic have started offering new-build opportunities for investors.

Because each island is a country in its own right, much will depend on the stability and outlook of the respective governments when it comes to investment security, future appreciation and rental potential. The best opportunties are often found where the government has made a firm commitment to tourist development, and where established developers are offering properties.

The Caribbean remains a favoured destination for the US travel market, with short flying times from Florida making it popular for both long holidays and long weekends. This is reflected in strong rental yields.

The current opportunities we are proud to offer in these pages are those that we believe ticks all the boxes as wise investment choices, and those that will deliver many years of pleasure.
